Acadiana History: The big box took out big charm, personality

Modern superstores offer convenience, but they can lack the charm and personality of the neighborhood corner grocery. Veron's Grocery is shown here in the 1950s. Originally built in 1910 as Gondoor Joseph's store, it was located at the corner of Garden and Oak Avenue (now Jefferson Street). It was purchased by Wesley Veron in 1945.
